Donald Trump launches $10M ad buy in 9 battleground states
Donald Trump’s presidential campaign on Monday launched a new ad buy that it expects will cost more than $10 million over the next week or so, marking the biggest ad buy to date for the campaign.
The campaign is currently airing ads in key battleground states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and North Carolina and it’s now expanding them to Colorado, Virginia, Nevada, Iowa and New Hampshire for a total of nine states.
It launched a new 30-second ad on the economy Monday, hitting Hillary Clinton and her proposed policies and touting what Trump could do for the middle class.
“In Hillary Clinton’s America, the middle class gets crushed. Spending goes up, taxes go up. Hundreds of thousands of jobs disappear. It’s more of the same, but worse,” a narrator says.
In Trump’s America, the narrator says that “millions of new jobs” would be created.
“Wages go up, small businesses thrive. Change that makes America great again,” the narrator says.
The new ad comes after one launched earlier this month in which Trump targeted Clinton on immigration.
